"It’s amazing because it’s like something you see in a movie. We were able to think outside the box and come up with an unprecedented design. We’ve achieved our goal of using a stylish design to encourage visualization."

Managing Corporate Officer Yokohama Rubber

Yokohama Rubber has implemented FUJITSU Intelligent Dashboard to provide real-time, cross-sectional visibility of its Japanese and overseas factories’ operations.

Customer

Yokohama Rubber was founded in 1917, and over the past century it has produced high-performance tires for every vehicle category, from compact cars and sports cars to high-powered sedans and large construction equipment. It has also developed original equipment tires for many of the world’s leading car makers.

Challenge

Yokohama Rubber relocated its production bases overseas, making global and total factory optimization difficult. It wanted to improve operational visibility, automate data retrieval, and increase efficiency.

Solution

The company implemented the FUJITSU Intelligent Dashboard and developed a system which allows users to make real-time, cross-sectional comparisons of the state of all the company’s Japanese and overseas factories.
